20-year-old Leanne Wong recently opened up about training with an experienced gymnast like Simone Biles. The Florida University student shared how Team USA’s gymnastics squad is a mix of young and old gymnasts and helped her learn about multiple events.
Leanne Wong first made her entry into Team USA in 2017 and has been proving her gymnastics skills since then. Wong made it to the world championship team thrice. Each time, the gymnast contributed differently to help Team USA win medals.
In 2021, Wong achieved silver and bronze medals in the all-around and floor exercise, respectively. In 2022, she competed on uneven bars, helping the USA win their sixth consecutive team gold medal.
